Once a month, run an empty cycle using the Intensive program with a commercially available dishwasher cleaner or a bowl of white vinegar placed upright on the top rack. This cuts through limescale and grease buildup inside the internal plumbing. 6. Troubleshooting Common Issues
The manual begins with critical safety and installation instructions. The LS 603 requires a dedicated cold water connection (though some markets offer a hot fill variant; the manual specifies checking the inlet hose label). Water pressure should range between 0.05 and 1 MPa. The drain hose must be secured at a height of 40–100 cm to prevent siphoning. Electrical connection demands a grounded 220-240V outlet. Importantly, the manual stresses leveling the appliance using its adjustable feet to avoid water pooling or noise during operation.
The manual concludes with general guidelines: never open the door mid-cycle unless paused and waiting 10 seconds for steam to subside; do not place silver or aluminum items in contact with stainless steel (galvanic corrosion); and always run full loads to maximize water and energy efficiency. For Eco programs, the manual notes that pre-rinsing dishes under a tap is wasteful – simply scrape off large food residues.
